For anyone who happens to have this same problem I finally found the solution. The bar to which I’m referring is the “toolbar”, aptly named. To disable it when viewing your site go to your WordPress control panel then go to User > Your Profile > and uncheck the “Show Toolbar when viewing site” box.

Okay, so,

1. the back/forward buttons work fine now.
2. the hotlinking prevention and error pages work fine.

But what could be causing my images to become broken links? I would think that would have been fixed along with the permalinks settings.

It worked! Ahhhhhh I can’t thank you enough!!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you times a billion!!!! The only thing now is that the images still don’t show up when you click them but I might be able to figure that out. I’m just SO happy that the buttons work again! Thank you so much!!!!! Here is a check for a BILLION internets!!!!

Ok great! So it goes in style.css

What part of style.css does it go in?

[ No bumping please. ]

Awesome, thank you mrtom! However I wasn’t able to actually find that coding anywhere… What template would I find this in?

Contacted HostGator via live chat and the rep gave me a form for restoration. Hopefully everything will be reset to previous settings and all will be well. Thank you so much again Shayatik.

Thank yjou Shayatik… I will try that! Going to respond in a few mins with outcome…

And yes, WordPress is installed in my cPanel.

I don’t know if this has any bearing but I write in HTML, meaning I’m literally looking for anything anywhere (via the Edit > Find feature) for “wp-content”.

I don’t really know what I’m talking about here, but I assume (prehaps incorrectly?) that there is some coding someone could give me from a default setting of the twentyten theme’s coding that will paste my posts into the blog here: https://www.thelanternlight.com/blog

I’m not sure if that’s how it works, but I’m pretty sure that’s how I had it set up previously before all this happened. As you can see (at that /blog link) I’ve got everything set up correctly. I just need to insert my WordPress posts and archives into that page. Does that make sense? I don’t know if I’m being clear enough… But anywho, I just want my posts to show up on that page along with the “view older posts” button and the “view newer posts” button….

Wonderful, thank you again for responding!

I’m just trying to understand where on earth I should be looking for “wp-content”… Do you mean I should go to my hostgator cPanel? Because there is nothing there that says “wp-content”. Or do you mean I should log in to my FTP client? Because there is nothing there that says “wp-content”….

Hello WPyogi!!! Thank you SO much for responding.

I went to my cPanel and found phpMyAdmin. I have never been to this panel/site/thing ever before so I don’t know exactly what I’m looking at or looking for. I followed the instructions as per the link you provided (here) but step 1. says, and I quote, “In the table wp_options, under the option_name column (field) find the active_plugins row” and to be perfectly frank I have no idea what that means. I cannot find the ‘table wp_options’ to begin with let alone the option_name column.

I’m hoping you can give me a little more to go off of? Pretty please?

*********** Also, I’m not really sure what switching off my plugins will solve as I don’t think my plugins have any bearing whatsoever at all even a little bit on my original problem.

Thank you!

Nevermind. I figured it out.

For anyone else who runs across this same problem. I simply removed the div HTML and put in a table so that my coding now looks like this:

<center><table width=100%><tr><td><?php next_posts_link( __( '<span class="meta-nav"></span> <img src="/images/arrowprev.gif" border=0>', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></td><td><div align="right"><?php previous_posts_link( __( '<img src="/images/arrownew.gif" border=0> <span class="meta-nav"></span>', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></div></td></tr></table></center>

Any help at all? ??
